Pizzeria Business Plan

1.0 executive summary, 1.1 company & industry.

Olympic Pizzeria will become Seaside’s first, fast and free delivered pizza restaurant. The pizza restaurant industry in Seaside is minimal, with only one other pizza place. Olympic Pizzeria is conveniently located for both tourists and locals, and a complete restaurant with low lease terms has already been secured. The owners all bring business management background, as well as hospitality industry experience. This pizzeria business plan outlines the market and strategy to create a profitable pizza restaurant business.

1.2 PRODUCTS & SERVICES

Olympic Pizzeria offers fast and free delivered pizza. The pizza, made with unique, East Coast based recipes and a secret sauce, include a vast array of topping selections, as well as healthy alternatives. The company also will offer mobile beach vending carts to allow tourists on the beach a quick and easy dining option without leaving the beach.

1.3 MARKET ANALYSIS

Seaside has approximately 6,000 full time residents, which more than doubles during the tourist season. Olympic Pizzeria targets both the local segment and the tourist segment. In addition, the healthy menu items provide an alternative dining option for many tourists. It has been estimated that at least 25% of households will order pizza for delivery at least once per month.

1.4 STRATEGY & IMPLEMENTATION

Olympic Pizzeria will implement an effective marketing and advertising campaign, consisting of direct mailings, community and event sponsorships, and coupons. Additionally, the company has formed partnerships with area resorts and hotels to inform guests about Olympic Pizzeria and its dining options. Sales are expected to double during the tourist season, at which time a complete staff consisting of cooks, drivers, and wait staff will be hired.

1.5 MANAGEMENT

Olympic Pizzeria has a strong management team consisting of its three owners. Each owner brings education in business management. Additionally, each owner has experience working in either the resort industry or the food industry. The management team has successfully started one other restaurant in nearby Portland.

1.6 FINANCIAL PLAN

Olympic Pizzeria has a strong financial plan with first year earnings exceeding $30,000 and cash flow positive by month 5. It is expected that the company will have losses during the five months that tourism is slow, however during the busy months monthly profits will exceed $10,000. Yearend cash balances will exceed $30,000, and the bank loan will be paid off within two years.

1.7 FUNDS REQUIRED & USE

Olympic Pizzeria requires $85,000 in capital to begin operations as described in this pizza business plan. The three owners have personally invested $60,000 into the company. The remaining $25,000 will come from a bank loan that has already been secured. Funds will be used for building renovations, marketing and advertising, and daily operations for the first five months until the company becomes cash flow positive. Details are in the Strategy & Implementation section of this pizzeria business plan.

2.0 COMPANY SUMMARY

2.1 company & industry.

Olympic Pizzeria will become Seaside’s first chain of delivery oriented, family pizza restaurants. Although this is not a new concept, Seaside does not have a pizzeria that offers fast, free delivery along with a family dining atmosphere. Seaside is not only ready for a true pizza operation – it needs one, especially an operation that will focus on quality, price, and convenience.

2.2 LEGAL ENTITY & OWNERSHIP

Olympic Pizzeria is currently registered with the Secretary of State (Oregon) as a limited liability company under the name “Olympic Pizzeria LLC”.  The company is owned equally by its three managing partners.

2.3 HISTORY

Each of the founding partners brings different experience to the company. Having experience in the hospitality industry, management, and pizza making, the three partners have teamed up to create Olympic Pizzeria to fill the current need in the market.

2.4 FACILITIES & LOCATION

Olympic Pizzeria is located in a prime location in Seaside, Oregon, at the corner of Broadway and Highway 101. Not only does this appeal to all of the tourists, being centrally located on the main street in town, but also attracts travelers on the highway driving through.

At this location, an existing vacant restaurant has been secured. The building is fully built out to accommodate the needs of the pizzeria, including complete kitchen, dining, and office areas. The owner has agreed to $1.80 per square foot in rent ($900/mo.) and will include garbage pickup and water. Utilities will be based on use.

2.5 KEY ASSETS

The most significant assets will be the kitchen equipment, including the oven, mixer and prep tables. As the reputation for our pizza grows, our most important assets will become our recipes and the Olympic Pizzeria brand.

3.0 PRODUCTS & SERVICES

3.1 product description.

Olympic Pizzeria provides premium pizza with fast, free delivery to the Seaside area. Olympic Pizzeria specializes in making superior pizzas, with proven recipes that have successfully launched pizzerias in other parts of the country. The restaurant combines hand-tossed dough, along with a secret sauce, that entices customers to return. Menu items are priced marginally higher than pizzerias in other towns, as the primary customers are tourists, whom expect to spend more while on vacation. This allows for free delivery, as well as additional menu options, such as whole-wheat dough.

[optin-monster slug=”ygunppiwdzotv7iegkcc” followrules=”true”]

3.2 FEATURES & BENEFITS

Olympic Pizzeria offers a wide menu selection to appeal to many different customer preferences. As more people are beginning to eat healthy, whole wheat options are available for pizza crusts and breadsticks. Additionally, Olympic Pizzeria is the only restaurant that provides vegan options to customers. Multiple flavored crust options (cheese, garlic, etc.) along with an array of pizza toppings, also sets Olympic Pizzeria apart from the current competition. Finally, expanded operating hours and fast, free delivery, allow customers multiple dining options.

3.3 COMPETITION

Currently there is only one direct competitor, Southside Pizza, which is the only pizzeria that delivers in the Greater Seaside area. Typically their deliveries take an average of an hour per order and incur a $2 surcharge. Additionally, they only deliver between the limited hours of 5-8 pm. A three-topping delivered pizza will cost over $17 and take an hour when ordered from Southside Pizza.

The indirect competition includes Bill’s Diner and China Wok Buffet. Bill’s Diner sells take-and-bake pizza at a very reasonable price; however they do not offer delivery. They also do not offer dough variations. China Wok Buffet does deliver for a $4 surcharge; however they do not offer pizza in their menu.

3.4 COMPETITIVE EDGE/BARRIERS TO ENTRY

As there is limited competition, Olympic Pizzeria will have a first mover advantage in offering quality pizzas for fast, free delivery. Once established, it will be difficult for another pizzeria to enter the market, as Seaside is not large enough to support three pizza restaurants year-round. Additionally, Olympic Pizzeria has lower fixed costs through negotiations on a long term building lease. The pizzeria also offers a wider variety of menu items, including whole wheat crust options, which the competition does not offer.

3.5 DEVELOPMENT

Olympic Pizzeria plans to open another location near the waterfront, which will serve as a convenient place to eat while tourists are enjoying the beach. This location will act as a hub for several mobile carts strategically located along the beach, which will offer pizza by the slice and drinks to customers. As customer’s preferences are further defined, menu items will be added to expand the target market. For example, a healthier alternative, such as wraps, will be added to the menu. Additional locations in other towns along the coastline may also be considered.

4.0 MARKET ANALYSIS SUMMARY

4.1 target market.

Seaside, like several other small towns along the Oregon coast line, has a tourist based economy. There are two distinct market segments that Olympic Pizzeria will target: the tourists and the locals. The tourists mainly consist of vacationers with disposable income that are willing to spend more for a quality pizza. The locals consist of either upper-middle class retirees or lower-middle class middle-aged workers, both which enjoy quality pizza 1-2 times per month.

4.2 MARKET SIZE

The full-time permanent population of Seaside is slightly more than 6,000 people, growing at an annual rate of 6%. However, the population doubles during the prime summer and fall vacation months. It is estimated that 90% of the population eat pizza, with 40% eating pizza at least two times per month.

4.3 MARKET TRENDS

The target market is experiencing growth annually in both full-time population and tourist visits. Additionally, a new market segment has begun to appear with people beginning to look for healthier dining alternatives. Olympic Pizzeria’s exclusive whole-wheat crust option targets this new market segment.

4.4 SWOT ANALYSIS

The SWOT analysis for this pizza business plan is as follows:

Strengths: fast, free delivery; unique recipes and secret sauce; first mover advantage; healthy menu options; low overhead and fixed expenses; prime location; management team

Weaknesses: higher variable costs for ingredients due to better quality; competing pizzeria already operating; three person management team

Opportunities: tourists allow higher margins; mobile beach carts for additional delivery method; capture local delivery market with faster and cheaper delivery

Threats: new pizzeria entering market; existing competition offering fast, free delivery

5.0 STRATEGY & IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 philosophy.

Olympic Pizzeria will be the premier pizza restaurant in the Seaside area, offering unique, healthy menu options and fast, free delivery.

5.2 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Development of the facility will be minimal, with minor modifications and the addition of pizza ovens being the only major renovation. Proven recipes have already been secured. Delivery drivers will be outfitted with GPS units to aid in fast, efficient delivery. Development of the mobile beach vending carts will be finalized once the main restaurant has been operational for at least six months.

5.3 INTERNET STRATEGY

Although the internet may not play a vital part to the marketing of Olympic Pizzeria, a website will be designed and maintained to promote the company. Along with advertising specials, customers will be able to look through the complete menu, and place orders for takeout or delivery online.

We will build our website using Wix , which allows us to create an attractive pizza website with ecommerce capabilities very quickly. It also includes the ability to make updates as we tweak our product offerings and add regular promotions. Using Wix will also allow us to save on website development costs because we will not need to hire a company or consultant to manage our pizza website.

We will also use Send In Blue for email marketing to send weekly promotions and coupons to drive repeat business.

5.4 MARKETING STRATEGY

In the pizza delivery business, aggressive marketing is the key. Typically, having a pizza delivered to your home is an impulse purchase. This requires a strong advertising campaign including direct mailers and coupons placed in newspapers. Additionally, Olympic Pizzeria will develop strategic marketing campaigns to target guests of area resorts and hotels. Sponsorship of local sports teams and events will also be used to broaden reach.

5.5 SALES STRATEGY

Given the target market of tourists, Olympic Pizzeria can charge a premium for its menu items. As dining is often an impulse purchase, it is difficult to estimate sales forecasts, however it is expected that during the tourist season, sales will increase significantly. We have estimated that of the 3,000 full time households, 25% will make at least one order per month, which equals 25 pizzas per day. During the tourist season we expect at least 50 orders per day. This equates to 14,250 pizzas per year, and gross revenues of $285,000.

5.6 STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

Olympic Pizzeria has formed alliances with area resorts and hotels to allow marketing and advertising of our menu to guests and tourists. Additionally, the restaurant has been given permission to place mobile vending carts on the beach, in exchange for sponsorships of local community events. Partnerships with fresh ingredient suppliers are also being negotiated.

5.7 OPERATIONS

Operations will be managed by the three managing partners. This will include all marketing activities, financial and accounting activities, and operational activities. The restaurant will employ a small staff of waiters, cooks, and delivery drivers. Staff will be trained by the management team to ensure quality and consistency of food preparation.

  • Be the premier pizza delivery restaurant with quality menu items
  • First year revenues of $250,000
  • Expansion to second location and beach mobile vending carts within 12 months
  • Have a strong community involvement
  • Open additional locations in other neighboring coastal towns

5.9 EXIT STRATEGY

This pizzeria business plan anticipates that within 10 years, there will be 10 Olympic Pizzeria locations in operation. At this time, company valuation is expected to be around $5 million, which will allow an adequate-sized venture to become interested in acquiring the company.

6.0 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

6.1 organizational chart.

The company will follow a typical hierarchical structure with the management team discussed below as the co-owners., who will be responsible for all operations and management duties early on. Additional staff will be needed for pizza preparation, delivery, and wait staff. Once the company has expanded operations, a general manager will be hired to take the duties of the owners.

6.2 MANAGEMENT TEAM

The initial management team consists of the following three owners:

Sean Smith is currently the Resident Manager at Oceanside Resort. He has extensive experience resorts operations and management, as well as computer database administration. He also is experienced with resort marketing. His background will aid in resort relations, as well as handling public relations and special events. He has a degree in business from Oregon State University.

Aaron Lambert is currently the front desk manager of Pacificview Resort. He has experience in starting and operating an upscale deli at the Hilton in Portland. He has a broad based management background that includes very large, four-star resorts to a smaller, hands-on resort. Aaron has a degree in business with emphasis in resort management from Azusa State University.

David Crawford is the assistant front desk manager at the Pacificview Resort. He has worked with Aaron for the last three years, beginning with the deli project at the Hilton. David comes from the East Coast, where he has experience in the pizza business. He has background with backline operations such as dough and sauce prep, consistency control, and recipe creation. He has experience as revenue auditor for restaurant, casino and hotel operations. David has a degree in business administration from the University of Ohio.

6.3 PERSONNEL NEEDS

It is estimated that a staff of 10 will be needed to maintain operations. As this industry does not require special training and turnover is typically high, staff wages can be relatively low. Most of the staff will maintain part time hours, as many will be high school students and retirees. This will eliminate the need for expensive benefits and other requirements.

6.4 BOARD MEMBERS & ADVISORS

Olympic Pizzeria’s advisory team consists of a certified public accountant, who takes care of all tax accounting requirements, as well as a corporate attorney that is held on retainer in case any legal needs arise.

7.0 FINANCIAL PLAN

7.1 requirements.

Olympic Pizzeria has secured a funding in the form of a bank loan for the amount of $25,000. This is personally guaranteed by each of the owners. Additionally, the owners have invested a total of $60,000 into the company. Investment contributions were made equally by each of the three partners.

7.2 USE OF FUNDS

Funds will be used primarily for renovation and upgrades to the kitchen ($55,000), including new pizza ovens, kitchen equipment, and dining room décor. Additionally, advertising expenses and marketing collateral, as well as initial inventory, insurance, rent, and utilities, will all need to be purchased in the first month of operations. Remaining funds will be used as operating capital, including tasks mentioned earlier in this pizza business plan.

7.3 INCOME STATEMENT PROJECTIONS

It is projected that first year revenue will exceed $285,000, with the sale of nearly 15,000 pizzas. Monthly revenues are expected to vary between $15,000-$30,000, depending upon tourist seasons. Fixed expenses are projected to be around $15,000 monthly, which includes wages, marketing and advertising, insurance, rent, and utilities. Variable costs are estimated to be $3 per pizza. Net losses are anticipated during the non-tourist months, however during tourist seasons the monthly profits are expected to exceed $10,000. First year earnings are estimated to be $37,000, with second and third year earnings projections of $45,000 and $52,000.

7.4 BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS

The break even analysis works out to an annualized average of 900 pizzas per month or $18,000 in sales.

7.5 PROJECTED CASH FLOW

The company is expected to be cash flow positive by the fifth month of operations. The initial owners’ investment of $10,000, along with the bank financing of $25,000 ensures that free cash never drops below $2,000, with most months exceeding $5,000. By the end of Year 1, the bank account balance is expected to exceed $35,000, which will allow expansion of the company operations.

7.6 BALANCE SHEET

Olympic Pizzeria’s balance sheet will show $85,000 in assets, attributed mainly to equipment, leasehold improvements and cash. Liabilities will be only $25,000 upon launch and zero within two years. Equity will continue to increase as retained earnings stay positive and debt is paid down.

7.7 IMPORTANT ASSUMPTIONS

  • Variable costs (including ingredients, packaging, and delivery) remain at $3
  • Tourist months stay strong April-October
  • The tourist economy continues to grow over the next 5 years

Pizzeria Business Plan

Start your own pizzeria business plan

Pizzeria del Causamali

Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">.

Pizzeria del Causamali is a new player in the restaurant industry.  The restaurant is in a comfortable, familiar, small town that has a strong need for additional dining options.  Bolstered by the need for more choices in family-oriented dining experiences, combined with the option for home-delivery, the restaurant is positioned to take advantage of the market need and serve the families in the Deauville area.

The Deauville’s population is rapidly growing with new subdivisions and young families moving to the rural suburb of the Hewgton area.  It is Pizzeria del Causamali’s strategy to exploit the first-mover opportunity and establish itself as the preferred pizza provider to the area.  We believe a locally-owned restaurant is the best option to serve the rapidly growing population with a fresh, unique menu as opposed to a national chain franchise.

This business plan calls for an exciting, profitable start-up year ahead with future forecasted growth as we meet the demands of the community.  In all, this plan describes a healthy company with good growth prospects, looking to manage its orderly growth in the near future.

Pizzeria business plan, executive summary chart image

1.1 Mission

Pizzeria del Causamali creates a friendly and pleasant atmosphere for customers in a well-designed, and productive environment in which people can work happily.  We are sensitive to the look and taste of good pizza as well as to high-quality ingredients.  We look to provide the best possible value to our customers who desire great tasting pizza and to provide customers with the satisfaction of receiving a great value, both tangibly and intangibly.  Additionally, we are the first home-deliverer of pizzas in our area. 

Our customers are our neighbors as we are residents of our market area.  We will also create and nurture a healthy, creative, respectful, and fun working environment, in which our employees are fairly compensated and encouraged to respect the customer and the quality of the product we produce.  We seek fair and responsible profit, enough to keep the company financially healthy for the long term and to fairly compensate owners and investors for their investment and risk.

1.2 Keys to Success

The keys to success in this business are:

  • Delivering the customer value proposition. 
  • Marketing: promoting a new company, product, and delivery channels to a rural community. 
  • Product quality and consistency. 
  • Pricing effectively with respect to the project quality and customer value proposition.
  • Family-oriented atmosphere with occasional nights of family entertainment.
  • Management: products delivered on time, costs controlled, marketing budgets managed.  There is a temptation to fixate on growth at the expense of profits.
  • Reporting and controls in place for inventory and financials.

1.3 Objectives

The objectives for Pizzeria del Causamali are:

  • To establish the market presence needed to support marketing and sales goals and to attract customers. 
  • To reach healthy monthly sales by the end of the year, and average monthly sales increasing modestly by steadily through Year 3. 
  • To achieve double digit profit margins. 
  • To develop top-rated relationships with 2-4 well-respected, all encompassing distributors.

Pizzeria del Causamali offers high quality pizza to a growing community that currently has limited availability of restaurants and no availability to delivery.  At start up we will be open for dinner 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday – Thursday and 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.  We will consider opening earlier and serving lunch if there is a demand, and if forecast and financial analysis can justify the increased costs.

Our menu will include 4 sizes of pizzas with various combinations of toppings.  Predefined, high-margin pizzas will be highlighted on the menu.  Additionally, breadsticks, beer, and soda will be included in the initial menu offerings.

Market Analysis Summary how to do a market analysis for your business plan.">

Our primary target market is people who desire a comfortable, family-oriented environment for dine-in pizza.  Our secondary target market also desires a delivery service for pizza, or a take-out approach.  There is overlap of these segments.

Deauville and its surrounding communities are a growing middle-class area with nearly 14,000 residents.  A majority of these residents are families of four or more.  The boom in the area is primarily in response to an exodus of families moving out of the over-populated areas and into a more rural setting. 

According to a Growth Plan Deauville conducted in 2001, population within Deauville is expected to increase.  However, the number of persons per household is expected to decline, meaning the need for additional housing in Deauville will continue to grow.  From the same plan, population is listed as being evenly distributed by age groupings, with approximately 33% of the population being minors.  Another 40% are less than 54 years of age, indicating a major concentration of the Deauville population being families.  The report forecasts there being nearly 1,900 households in the Deauville by 2005.  This is driving the need for more quality, family-oriented restaurants.

Additionally, Deauville residents frequently visit the building in which Pizzeria del Causamali is located. Tanning and video rental businesses are adjacent to the restaurant, so we are providing a new convenience for families to select a movie and pick up a pizza.

With the expected continued growth in the area, estimated at 7% annually, opportunities to serve Deauville and its surrounding communities will increase.  The company will sell predominantly to individuals, but it will also accept some catering jobs to individual parties, schools, and company functions in the Deauville area.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Pro Tip:

Market Analysis
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Potential Customers Growth CAGR
Dine-In or Take-Out 7% 13,860 14,830 15,868 16,979 18,168 7.00%
Delivery 7% 5,000 5,350 5,725 6,126 6,555 7.00%
Total 7.00% 18,860 20,180 21,593 23,105 24,723 7.00%

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Including Deauville and its surrounding areas, no pizza establishments exist.  In Deauville one to two restaurants serve pizza, but not as a primary menu item.  These pizza outlets are in taverns which are not conducive to family-type atmosphere.  No eating establishments in the Deauville area provide home-delivery service.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

Other family-oriented restaurants in the area include:  Subway(R), What’s Cookin’ diner, and Colonial House supper club.  Subway serves sandwiches, wraps, and salads, none of which are direct competition to the pizza establishment.  The diner is open until 2 p.m. each day and focuses on the breakfast crowd, with a limited sandwich availability for lunch.  The supper club has a Chicken and Pizza buffet once a week for approximately $6; the pizza served as part of the buffet are frozen pizzas.

Other restaurants in Deauville are taverns and are not conducive to family activities.  One of the bars in Deauville serves a homemade pizza.

In conversations with an independent pizza operator in Lakeshore Haven, an hour’s drive away, he indicated pizza sales in his community are thriving despite competition from 4 other pizza establishments, including Pizza Hut(R).  While exact figures were not shared, he indicated a high level of penetration into the pizza market in his area with profitable margins.  He also provided suggestions and tips to minimize costs, and components of his restaurant he would do differently, including payroll handling, vendors, and layout. 

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

There is minimal competition for pizza in the Deauville area, besides the bar establishments previously mentioned.  The closest locales for pizza to the Deauville area are Bolingbrooke, Avro, and de Havilland.  None of these competing pizza locations deliver to the Deauville area.  Additionally, Pizzeria del Causamali would be the only family-oriented, non-smoking restaurant in Deauville.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Our strategy is based on delivering a strong customer value proposition in a niche market.  The world is full of small, family-oriented towns that do not have endless opportunities for dining out.  We are looking to offer the Deauville and its surrounding areas a new choice in food options. 

  • What begins as a need to satisfy a need in the community, can eventually turn into a mainstay in the small town community. 
  • We are building our marketing infrastructure so that we can eventually reach additional towns with the same offering. 
  • We focus on satisfying the needs of small towns. 

5.1 Competitive Edge

Our competitive edge is to be first-to-the-market with pizza in a friendly, non-smoking, family-oriented dine-in experience, and first-to-the-area with food delivery.

Additionally, the location of Pizzeria del Causamali is crucial as a convenience model to customers.  Deauville residents frequent the video rental store adjacent to the restaurant.  This location is directly in the center of activity in this rural community–it is within walking distance of the middle and high schools, the local church, and within 2 miles of the existing large subdivisions and apartment complexes in the area.

5.2 Marketing Strategy

To drive customers to Pizzeria del Causamali, we will employ several techniques outlined below.

Advertising in Bolingbrooke Post ,  de Havilland Buyer’s Guide ,  Deauville Register , and Deauville Shopping News will be used to promote the Grand Opening of Pizzeria del Causamali.  As part of the advertising, a coupon will be available to customers.  Intermittent newspaper advertisements will continue throughout the year to promote upcoming events.  Most initiatives will focus on the local Deauville papers as the target of these papers is specifically the Deauville residents.  Additional marketing efforts will come in the form of on-box coupons for future purchases.

Additionally, family-oriented events will be hosted by Pizzeria del Causamali to attract customers such as trivia nights, birthday parties, and prize giveaways.  Frequent buyer cards will be employed to entice repeat customers.  Pizzeria del Causamali will also sponsor a local Little League baseball team, and a bowling team to publicize the restaurant within the community events.

Future plans of working in coordination with the adjacent video store to offer “bundle savings” if both pizza and video rentals are purchased will be pursued within the second year of operation.

5.3 Sales Strategy

The Deauville area has expressed its need for additional restaurants, specifically a desire for pizza.  Because of this, there is pent-up demand for pizza in this area.  We will expect a high rate of sales growth within the first 3 months as this customer desire is met.

For the next year, we continue to focus on a growing presence in the community and advertising heavily throughout the community.  As a major convention center and water park open in nearby Fairchild, we will focus our attention on becoming the recognized provider of pizza to that establishment.

5.3.1 Sales Forecast

Our sales forecast assumes a modest change in annual costs to accommodate new entry into the market. 

We are expecting to increase sales modestly but steadily over the next year, which is a respectable growth rate.  The growth forecast is assumed given this is a new product for the area using new channels of availability.  We are not projecting significant change in the product line, or in the proportion between different lines. 

Based on industry averages and the absence of competition for pizza in the Deauville area, we are predicting an average of 25 pizzas sold each week night (Sunday – Wednesday).  On the weekends (Thursday – Saturday), we are estimating 40 pizzas are sold each day.  Of those pizzas ordered, we are expecting approximately 1/3 to be dine-in customers.  Those customers dining in will most likely order drinks and/or beer (on average 4 for each family).  Additionally, we are estimating that approximately one-third of the pizza orders will be accompanied by an order for breadsticks.  Our estimated average prices for each item are as follows:

  • Pizza:  $12
  • Breadsticks:  $2.50
  • Beer:  $2.50/pint
  • Drinks:  $1.70 refillable

Web Plan Summary

The Pizzeria del Causamali website will be the virtual business card and portfolio for the company, as well as its online “home.”  It will showcase the history, product information, and offers for Pizzeria del Causamali.  Special online-only offers will be made available on the website, along with customer’s opportunity to sign-up for email news and offers. 

The Pizzeria del Causamali website needs to be a simple yet classy and well designed website that, at the same time, is in keeping with the latest trends in user interface design.  Customers will be coming to the site for product information, history, and offers. 

Future elements of the site can contain online ordering, if customers express an interest in this functionality.

6.1 Website Marketing Strategy

Our Internet marketing activities will be focused on product information and offers.  Future opportunities exist in offering online ordering.

6.2 Development Requirements

The Pizzeria del Causamali website will be initially developed with few technical resources.  A simple hosting provider, Yahoo! Web services, will host the site and provide the technical back end.  The owner’s expertise in professional Web development will lead this effort. 

The user interface designer will work with a graphic artist to come up with the website logo, and the website graphics. 

The maintenance of the site will be done by the owners.  If the website rolls out future development such as newsletters and online ordering, the internal staff at Pizzeria del Causamali will design, implement, and execute the technology.

Management Summary management summary will include information about who's on your team and why they're the right people for the job, as well as your future hiring plans.">

We are a small company owned and operated by Marion and Marianne Bruxellesprot, husband and wife, as a partnership.  Management style reflects the participation of the owners.  The company respects its community of co-workers and treats all workers well. 

Marianne Bruxellesprot is a 1998 graduate of University School of Business with High Honors and Distinction in Business.  Her experience with general business, technology, and operations is a great asset to this venture. 

Additionally, Otho Colderobby is an advisor to the owners.  Otho is a 1991 graduate of State College with a degree in Economics.  Furthermore, Otho graduated in 1995 with a Masters in Business Administration from University School of Business with emphases in Marketing and Finance.  Otho held a senior finance management position with Frito Lay for 5 years.  Otho is currently a managing consultant with a marketing strategy firm.  He also spent 5 years in a strategic services consulting practice.

7.1 Personnel Plan

The personnel table assumes a level need of employees, and 5% per annum pay raises.  Staffing for a 7-day a week restaurant necessitates two shifts.  In addition to the hours open for serving we anticipate an additional hour before opening for prep and as much as an hour after closing for cleanup.  This is approximately 8 hours of staffing necessary Sunday – Thursday and 10 hours on both Friday and Saturday.

The two kitchen lead positions are part-time, earning $9/hr.  The kitchen leads will serve as the shift leaders of the kitchen/wait staff.  Kitchen staff will serve as the wait staff.  There will be one dedicated dishwashing position per shift.  Wages for kitchen/wait staff, dishwashers, and delivery drivers, who are all part-time, are $6/hr, with opportunities for all to share the combined earn tips.  It is imperative the people serving as the kitchen lead are over 21 and can legally serve alcohol.

Hourly part-time positions as kitchen/wait, dishwashing, and delivery staff average out to be approximately 30 hours per week each.  Delivery staff will work 5 hour shifts each night, with an extra delivery staff member added on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.  During the week if this person is not delivering, they will work in the kitchen as needed, directed by the kitchen lead.

Financial Plan investor-ready personnel plan .">

The financial picture is quite encouraging.  We will be slow to take on debt and heavily investing our own assets, but with our increase in sales we do expect to apply for a credit line with the bank, to a limit of $50,000.  The credit line is supported by assets.

8.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table.  The key underlying assumptions are:

  • We assume a fairly high-growth economy for pizza in the Deauville area, given the lack of competition and interest in having a pizza restaurant available in the area and pent-up demand. 
  • We assume, of course, that there are no unforeseen changes in technology to make our products immediately obsolete. 
  • We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan as shown in the tables.
General Assumptions
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Plan Month 1 2 3
Current Interest Rate 6.00% 6.00% 6.00%
Long-term Interest Rate 5.00% 5.00% 5.00%
Tax Rate 30.00% 30.00% 30.00%
Other 0 0 0

8.2 Break-even Analysis

Our break-even analysis is based on running costs, the “burn-rate” costs we incur to keep the business running, not on theoretical fixed costs that would be relevant only if we were closing. The essential insight here is that our sales level seems to be running comfortably above break-even.

Executive Summary

The Executive Summary introduces your pizzeria’s business plan, offering a concise overview of your restaurant and its offerings. It should detail your market positioning, the variety of pizza and related Italian cuisine you offer, its location, size, and an outline of day-to-day operations.

This section should also explore how your pizzeria will integrate into the local market, including the number of direct competitors within the area, identifying who they are, along with your restaurant’s unique selling points that differentiate it from these competitors.

Furthermore, you should include information about the management and co-founding team, detailing their roles and contributions to the pizzeria’s success.

Additionally, a summary of your financial projections, including revenue and profits over the next five years, should be presented here to provide a clear picture of your restaurant’s financial plan.

Pizzeria Business Plan Executive Summary Example

Pizzeria Business Plan executive summary1

Business Overview

The  business overview  should highlight the pizzeria’s concept and branding, focusing on how it combines authentic Italian dining with modern twists. Emphasize the strategic location, facility design, menu selection, and the service model that caters to both dine-in and online orders.

Example: “PizzaVivo,” located in the bustling Smithtown neighborhood, offers an authentic Italian dining experience. The pizzeria, with seating for 40 and an outdoor patio, features an open kitchen design for an interactive culinary experience. Its menu includes classic and innovative pizzas made with locally-sourced ingredients, along with appetizers and desserts, tailored to a range of dietary preferences.

Market Overview

This section should analyze the pizza industry’s size, growth, consumer trends, and the  competitive landscape . It positions the pizzeria in the context of the market’s shift towards gourmet offerings, online convenience, and sustainability.

Example: PizzaVivo enters a U.S. pizza market valued at over $46 billion. The trend towards artisanal pizzas and dietary variety, coupled with the rise in online ordering, positions PizzaVivo well in a market dominated by carry-out and delivery sales. Despite competition from various pizzerias, PizzaVivo’s unique dining experience and high-quality food set it apart.

Management Team

Detailing the management team’s experience and roles is crucial. This section should highlight how their background in culinary arts and restaurant management contributes to the pizzeria’s success.

Example: The Executive Chef and Co-Founder of PizzaVivo, with extensive experience in Italian cuisine, leads the culinary direction. The General Manager, also a Co-Founder, brings years of experience in restaurant management and operations, ensuring excellent customer service and business growth.

Financial Plan

This section outlines the pizzeria’s financial goals and projections, including revenue targets and profit margins, offering insight into its financial aspirations and health.

Example: PizzaVivo aims to achieve $1.5 million in annual revenue with an 18%  EBITDA  margin by 2028. This financial goal is underpinned by a focus on quality dining experiences, strategic marketing, and operational efficiency, positioning PizzaVivo for growth in the  competitive  pizza market.

For a Pizzeria, the Business Overview section can be effectively divided into 2 main categories:

Restaurant & Location

Briefly describe the pizzeria’s physical environment, focusing on its design, ambiance, and the welcoming atmosphere it creates for customers. Mention the restaurant’s location, highlighting its accessibility and the convenience it offers to customers, such as proximity to entertainment venues or ease of parking. Explain why this location is advantageous in attracting your target clientele.

Menu & Pricing

Detail the range of pizzas and related Italian cuisine offered, from classic Margheritas to innovative gourmet options, as well as any side dishes, desserts, and beverages. Outline your pricing strategy , ensuring it reflects the quality of ingredients used and matches the market you’re targeting. Highlight any specials, combo deals, or loyalty programs that provide added value to your customers, encouraging repeat visits and customer loyalty.

Business Plan_Pizzeria restaurant

Industry Size & Growth

In the Market Overview of your pizzeria business plan, begin by exploring the size of the restaurant and fast-food industry, particularly focusing on the pizza sector, and its growth potential. This analysis is vital for understanding the market’s breadth and identifying opportunities for expansion.

Key Market Trends

Continue by discussing recent trends in the pizza industry, such as the growing consumer interest in artisanal and gourmet pizzas, the demand for gluten-free and vegan options, and the importance of sourcing local and organic ingredients. Highlight the trend towards fast-casual dining experiences where quality meets convenience, and the rise of technology in enhancing customer ordering and delivery services.

Competitive Landscape

A  competitive analysis  is not just a tool for gauging the position of your pizzeria in the market and its key competitors; it’s also a fundamental component of your business plan.

This analysis helps identify your pizzeria’s unique selling points, essential for differentiating your business in a  competitive  market.

In addition, competitive analysis is integral in laying a solid foundation for your business plan. By examining various operational aspects of your competitors, you gain valuable information that ensures your business plan is robust, informed, and tailored to succeed in the current market environment.

Identifying Your Competitors in the Pizzeria Restaurant  

The initial step involves mapping out direct and indirect competitors in the local area. Direct competitors could be other pizzerias or Italian restaurants known for their pizza offerings. Indirect competition might come from fast-food chains serving pizza or even local diners offering a variety of dishes, including pizzas.

Tools like Google Maps help in visualizing the distribution of competitors across your locality. Additionally, online platforms such as Yelp, TripAdvisor, or local food blogs provide valuable insights into customer reviews and ratings. For instance, if reviews consistently praise “Crust & Crumble Pizzeria” for its wood-fired pizzas and cozy ambiance, this information could serve as a pivotal competitive advantage to emulate or differentiate from.

Pizzeria Business Plan key competitors

Pizzeria Restaurant Competitors Strategies

To conduct a thorough analysis, delve into the various strategies employed by your competitors:

  • Pizza Menu Offerings : Assess the variety and uniqueness of pizza offerings. If a competitor like “Healthy Slice Pizzeria” gains traction with its emphasis on organic ingredients and gluten-free crusts, it signals a trend towards health-conscious dining that your pizzeria could consider incorporating.
  • Preparation and Cooking Styles:  Consider diverse pizza preparation methods. A pizzeria renowned for its Neapolitan-style pizzas might cater to a different customer base compared to one specializing in thick-crust Chicago-style pizzas or New York-style slices.
  • Pricing Approaches : Compare your  pricing strategy  with that of competitors. Are you positioned similarly to budget-friendly pizzerias, or do you align more with high-end, gourmet pizza establishments?
  • Marketing Tactics:  Analyze how competitors market their offerings. Do they leverage social media marketing, community events, or loyalty programs to engage customers? Understanding these strategies can help you fine-tune your marketing initiatives.
  • Customer Experience:  Evaluate the dining experience offered by competitors. A pizzeria known for its family-friendly environment or quick and efficient delivery services might be setting benchmarks in customer satisfaction.
  • Operational Innovations:  Take note of technological advancements or innovative processes adopted by competitors. Whether it’s the use of online ordering systems, delivery apps, or eco-friendly packaging, such initiatives can impact customer convenience and satisfaction.

What’s Your Pizzeria’s Value Proposition?

Reflect on what makes your pizzeria unique in this competitive landscape. It could be your secret sauce recipe, a specialty pizza that’s exclusive to your restaurant, or a commitment to locally sourced ingredients.

Consider feedback from your customer base and industry trends to identify untapped market niches. For instance, the rising demand for plant-based options could be a potential avenue to explore, especially if competitors have yet to cater comprehensively to this segment.

Factor in the location of your pizzeria. A downtown location might emphasize fast service for busy customers, while a neighborhood-based pizzeria could focus on building a communal, relaxed dining atmosphere.

Pizzeria Business Plan strategy1

First, conduct a SWOT analysis for the pizzeria, highlighting Strengths (such as a diverse menu with high-quality ingredients and unique pizza recipes), Weaknesses (including potential high operational costs or stiff competition in the area), Opportunities (for instance, a growing demand for gourmet and artisanal pizzas), and Threats (such as fluctuations in food commodity prices that can affect cost margins or economic downturns that may impact discretionary spending on dining out).

Pizzeria Business Plan SWOT

Marketing Plan

Next, develop a marketing strategy that outlines how to attract and retain customers through targeted advertising, promotional offers, a strong social media presence, and engagement with the local community. Consider loyalty programs, special pizza nights, or collaborations with local businesses and events to increase visibility and customer base.

Marketing Channels

Utilize various marketing channels to enhance brand visibility, engage customers, and drive foot traffic to your pizzeria.

Digital Marketing

Utilize online platforms effectively:

  • Social Media:  Engage customers on platforms like Instagram, showcasing mouthwatering pizza visuals, behind-the-scenes kitchen moments, and customer testimonials. Use Facebook for event promotions and Twitter for real-time interactions.
  • Website and SEO:  A well-designed website serves as a virtual storefront. It should not only display the menu and pricing but also provide an easy-to-use online ordering system, customer testimonials, and a blog sharing interesting stories about the history of pizzas, cooking tips, or interviews with chefs.
  • Email Marketing:  Build an email list offering exclusive deals or a free appetizer upon subscription. Send regular newsletters with promotions, new menu additions, and upcoming events.

Local Advertising

Connect with the local community:

  • Community Engagement:  Participating in community events, sponsoring local sports teams, or collaborating with neighborhood associations can create goodwill and increase brand visibility. Offering special discounts or free tastings at such events can attract new customers and create positive associations with the brand.
  • Print Media:  Traditional forms of advertising, like print media, shouldn’t be overlooked. Placing ads in local newspapers, magazines, or community newsletters can reach potential customers who might not be active on digital platforms. Distributing flyers or coupons in strategic locations or through direct mail campaigns can also drive foot traffic to the pizzeria.
  • Partnerships : Collaborating with complementary local businesses can be mutually beneficial. For instance, partnering with nearby cinemas for combo deals or offering discounts for moviegoers who dine at the pizzeria before or after a show. Collaborations with schools for fundraising events or offering discounts to teachers and students can also expand the customer base.

Promotional Activities

Entice potential customers:

  • Special Offers:  Launch promotions like “Family Pizza Night” or “Two-for-One Slices” during off-peak hours. Offer discounts for first-time orders or loyal customers.
  • Loyalty Programs:  Implement a rewards system, providing a free pizza after a certain number of purchases or points earned.
  • Referral Incentives:  Offer discounts to customers who refer new patrons to your pizzeria.

Pizzeria Business Plan marketing plan

Sales Channels

Efficient  sales channels  enhance revenue streams and ensure customer satisfaction.

Dine-In Experience

Optimize customer experience:

  • Upselling:  Train staff to suggest add-ons like appetizers, desserts, or premium toppings during order-taking or table service.
  • Customer Service:  Emphasize excellent service, ensuring a pleasant dining experience that encourages repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth.

Takeout & Delivery Services

Efficient service for off-premise dining:

  • Online Ordering:  Provide an easy-to-navigate online ordering platform accessible through your website or mobile app.
  • Delivery Efficiency:  Ensure timely deliveries, offering special deals for delivery orders placed online or through the app.

Catering Services

Expand revenue opportunities:

  • Corporate Events:  Develop catering packages for office lunches or corporate events, emphasizing bulk orders or customizable menus.
  • Private Parties:  Promote your pizzeria for birthdays, anniversaries, or gatherings, offering tailored catering options and event space rental if available.

Strategy Timeline

Finally, create a detailed timeline that outlines critical milestones for the pizzeria’s launch, marketing initiatives, customer base development, and potential expansion goals, ensuring the business progresses with clear direction and purpose. Include key dates for menu updates, seasonal promotions, and community events participation to keep the momentum going and attract a steady flow of customers.

Business Plan Gym Timeline

The Management section focuses on the pizzeria’s management and their direct roles in daily operations and strategic direction. This part is crucial for understanding who is responsible for making key decisions and driving the pizzeria towards its financial and operational goals.

For your pizzeria business plan, list the core team members, their specific responsibilities, and how their expertise supports the business.

Pizzeria Business Plan management

The Financial Plan section is a comprehensive analysis of your financial projections for revenue, expenses, and profitability. It lays out your pizzeria’s approach to securing funding, managing cash flow, and achieving breakeven.

This section typically includes detailed forecasts for the first 5 years of operation, highlighting expected revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures.

For your pizzeria business plan, provide a snapshot of your financial statement (profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow statement), as well as your key assumptions (e.g. number of customers and prices, expenses, etc.).

Industry analysis.

The pizza industry has grown over the past five years due to rising consumer spending and changing preferences. Consumer spending is expected to increase an annualized 3.0%, as unemployment declines and economic conditions improve. As a result, the pizza industry has benefitted.

Changing consumer preferences have altered the industry over the past five years. Americans have become more concerned about their health and the food they eat, moving away from food high in fat, salt and sugar.

Consumers have also been indicating a preference for quick-service pizza shops, where pizza can be ordered online, rather than traditional, sit-down pizza restaurants.

How to draft a great business plan for your pizza restaurant?

A good business plan for a pizza restaurant must be tailored to the unique aspects of this type of dining establishment.

To start, it's crucial to provide a comprehensive overview of the pizza restaurant market. This includes up-to-date statistics and an analysis of emerging trends in the industry, similar to what we've outlined in our pizza restaurant business plan template .

Your business plan should articulate your vision clearly. Define your target audience (such as families, students, professionals), and describe the distinctive qualities of your pizza restaurant (gourmet toppings, traditional Italian, fast-casual, etc.).

Market analysis is a key component. You need to thoroughly understand the local competitive landscape, market trends, and consumer preferences specific to pizza dining.

Product offerings are paramount in a pizza restaurant. Detail your menu items - various pizza styles, side dishes, desserts, and beverages - and explain how they cater to the tastes and demands of your target market.

The operational plan is vital. It should outline the location of your restaurant, the layout of the dining and kitchen areas, supply chain management for ingredients, and the pizza-making process.

For a pizza restaurant, it's important to highlight the quality of ingredients, pizza-making techniques, and adherence to health and safety standards.

Then, delve into your marketing and sales strategies. How do you plan to attract and keep customers coming back? Consider promotional tactics, customer loyalty programs, and potential for additional sales (like delivery or catering services).

Embracing digital strategies, such as a robust website or active social media engagement, is also crucial in the modern marketplace.

The financial section is another critical element. It should encompass the initial investment, projected sales, operating expenses, and the point at which the business will become profitable.

In a pizza restaurant, understanding the cost of goods sold and maintaining efficient operations are essential due to the competitive nature of the market. For assistance with this, you might use our financial forecast for a pizza restaurant .

Compared to other business plans, a pizza restaurant's plan must pay special attention to factors such as the freshness and quality of ingredients, specific health codes for food handling, and the potential for high-volume, fast-paced service.

A well-crafted business plan will not only help you clarify your strategy and vision but also attract investors or secure loans.

Investors and lenders are looking for a solid market analysis, realistic financial projections, and a clear plan for day-to-day operations of a pizza restaurant.

By presenting a thorough and substantiated plan, you showcase your dedication and preparedness for the success of your venture.

Market Opportunity

Market data and figures.

The pizza restaurant industry is a robust and ever-popular sector with impressive market data.

As of recent estimates, the global pizza market has reached a value of over 130 billion dollars, with projections indicating a steady growth trajectory in the years to come. This is fueled by the universal appeal of pizza and the innovation within the industry.

In the United States alone, there are over 75,000 pizza restaurants, contributing to an annual revenue of approximately 45 billion dollars. This underscores the pizza's staple status in American dining culture and its substantial economic impact.

These statistics highlight the pizza industry's significant footprint in the gastronomic landscape and its potential for lucrative business ventures.

The pizza industry is not immune to the evolving trends and consumer preferences shaping the food sector.

Health-conscious options are on the rise, with an increase in demand for pizzas featuring whole-grain, gluten-free, or cauliflower crusts, as well as organic toppings. The plant-based movement is also influencing pizza menus, with a surge in vegan cheese and meat alternatives.

Technological advancements are playing a role too, with online ordering systems and pizza delivery apps becoming more sophisticated, providing convenience and efficiency for customers.

Environmental sustainability is another trend, with consumers favoring restaurants that source ingredients locally and use eco-friendly packaging.

Moreover, the concept of 'fast-casual' dining is growing, where customers enjoy high-quality food without the formalities of traditional dining, perfectly suited for pizza establishments.

These trends are shaping the future of pizza restaurants, indicating a shift towards more healthful, convenient, and environmentally responsible dining experiences.

Success Factors

Several factors contribute to the success of a pizza restaurant.

Foremost is the quality of the pizza itself. Restaurants that offer delicious, well-crafted pizzas with high-quality ingredients are more likely to develop a dedicated following.

Innovation in pizza recipes and offering unique flavor combinations can set a restaurant apart in a crowded market.

The location of the restaurant is also critical, as high foot traffic areas can lead to higher visibility and more customers.

Exceptional customer service is essential for ensuring that customers have a memorable dining experience and become repeat patrons.

Lastly, efficient operations, including cost control, waste reduction, and the ability to adapt to the latest food trends, such as offering keto-friendly or low-calorie pizzas, are vital for the sustained success of a pizza restaurant.

Competitive Advantage  

Pizza Corner’s competitive advantage is based on Mr. Williams’ longtime experience and expertise in running, managing and marketing fast food restaurant products. He has the experience and expertise to recognize trends in fast food restaurant dining and create menu items that attract and engage different demographics turning them into loyal customers. 

Pizza Corner has developed a unique selling point based on its menu of unique pizza flavors, expert deep-fried chicken, and a specialized wing menu. In addition to the existing customer base of pizza diners, the fried chicken and pizza menu items will attract new demographics and add to the existing customer base. In particular, Mr. Williams has conducted research that confirms that younger diners between the ages of 16-25 that are sports fans are highly likely to purchase pizza and pizza combos. Having a wide variety of menu items will attract new customers, bringing in new diners in the company’s current radius of 10km. With a rebrand and updating of menu items with exciting new offerings, the company will attract new and existing diners, subsequently turning them into longtime loyal customers.

  • Decreasing the number of unsold products thrown out 
  • Increasing rate of return customers

Sales and Marketing Plan

Pizza Corner will operate as a take-out restaurant offering pick up and delivery. The company will prioritize marketing and selling to customers that live within a 10km radius of the store, while also increasing brand awareness and recognition to support further expansion goals in the next three years. Mr. Williams has plans to implement a robust sales and marketing strategy to target new customers and generate awareness of the restaurant and its exciting menu items. 

Target Customer

The company has identified target customers to be residents that live within a 10km radius of the restaurant location. These customers are likely to choose Pizza Corner for multiple dining occasions, lowering the overall cost of customer acquisition and creating recurring revenue over time. Pizza Corner aims to attract diners aged between 5-65, including working professionals, families, individuals, students, sports teams and community associations. For chicken wing menu items, in particular, Mr. Williams has identified young diners (under the age of 25), sports fans, and sports teams to be the target demographic, as these three segments are shown to eat chicken pizza more than other segments. 

The restaurant is located in a plaza with a liquor store and Safeway. This is an advantageous position as the restaurant will be exposed to customers who are shopping at these stores and has the opportunity to convert these shoppers into customers. In order to attract and engage new audiences, the company will target these shoppers by advertising promotions and deals for passersby in order to bring them into the restaurant to place orders.

Key Channels

Mr. Williams plans to use marketing to continuously engage existing customers in Pizza Corner offerings to foster repeat purchases and customer loyalty while also educating and engaging new demographics that have been defined as target customers. Pizza Corner will advertise using the following methods:

Organic Social Media Advertising: The company will use social media channels such as Facebook and Instagram to promote Pizza Corner, posting on a regular basis with menu upgrades, promotions, and discounts. In addition to regular posts, Mr. Williams will post on days where there are sporting or other events to promote the restaurant as a good addition to game day celebrations and post-match traditions.

Paid Online Advertising: Mr. Williams will leverage Google Ads to promote Sunshine Hill and Pizza Corner to target demographics in key areas. By using Google Ads, Mr. Williams will be able to strategically target customers located within 10km of the restaurant locations who search keywords such as ‘pizza’ ‘chicken pizza’ ‘take out’ or ‘restaurants near me’ to generate awareness and consideration for the restaurant. The goal of this strategy is to convince new customers to try the restaurant, drawing them to the website to make an online order for delivery or pick up.

Third Party Delivery Services: The company will leverage third party delivery services such as DoorDash, UberEats and Skip The Dishes to advertise the restaurant to customers. As many customers now use these apps exclusively to find take-out dining options, this will allow Pizza Corner to promote their products to customers that are actively searching for a dining option. Additionally, using a third party delivery service enables  the company to leverage outside delivery driver networks without having to invest in their own vehicle or delivery driver staff. 

Grand Opening Event: Mr. Williams plans to launch a grand opening event once the full rebrand is complete and Pizza Corner is ready to launch. This event seeks to invite target customers and community members to try pizza and receive a discount or promotional combo. This will help the company jumpstart awareness generation, and support word of mouth marketing in the local Downtown San Diego community.  

Key Performance Indicators

Pizza Corner will monitor progress by referring to the following key performance indicators (KPI’s) at quarterly management and daily shift meetings:

  • Profitability ratios
  • Number of repeat customers 
  • Number of new customers
  • Sales volume (Month-to-date, Year-to-date)
  • Positive reviews and five-star feedback 
  • Product turnover rate 
  • Staff turnover rate
  • Revenue per customer 
  • Time to be served 
  • Number of complaints 

SWOT Analysis

pizza business plan example

Operational Plan

Pizza Corner is a take-out restaurant in Downtown San Diego. The following section will outline the operational plan and processes for business operations, capital funds deployment, as well as the relevant risks associated with the fast food restaurant industry. 

Operational Process

The company will have operating hours of Monday through Thursday from 3pm-10pm, Friday and Saturday from 11am-11pm, and Sunday 11am-10pm. The restaurant will accept orders online, over the phone, by walk-in and from third party delivery services such as DoorDash and UberEats. Pizza, fried chicken and pizza will be delivered to customers via delivery, or by pick up. 

Equipment & Inventory

The company will use the funds to upgrade the existing kitchen to a full commercial kitchen including a number of deep fryers and pizza ovens. 

The Pizza Corner San Diego location is situated at 1655 N Harbor Dr San Diego, CA 92101

Risk Analysis

Lack of ability to differentiate from competitors: Due to the high number of pizza and wing fast-food restaurants in the Lower Mainland, there is a high amount of competition in this sector. This is a risk as it may force Pizza Corner to heavily compete on price, resulting in increasingly aggressive discounting strategies and eroding profit margins over time. The company can mitigate this challenge by consistently updating the menu with new and exciting items, and offering a unique number of pizza and pizza combos, promotions and bundling discounts. Mr. Williams has developed unique recipes for his menu items that will provide a unique selling point, allowing him to differentiate his restaurant from competitors.

Growing concern over the health risks of fast food: Recent consumer trends have seen increased focus and concern over the health and nutritional benefits of food. This is a risk to Blaze Pizza, as the company falls into the fast-food category which typically is a high calorie, high fat dining choice. However, Pizza Corner has developed a strong value proposition and positioning in the market to attract customers that are looking for an experience, versus eating purely for nutritional benefits. These experiences may be gathering with friends and family, watching a sporting event, or celebrating after a sports game. As such, the health profiles are not a main focus or selling point for the company and will not impact sales to a significant extent. 

Supply chain shock and climate change: Since the company relies heavily on access to fresh produce and meat products, it is susceptible to various supply chain disruptions such as climate change, extreme weather events, and emergency events such as pandemics. However, by developing long term relationships and solid partnerships with a variety of food distributors and suppliers, the company will be able to ensure diversification. This means that if one supplier is unable to deliver products, Pizza Corner will still be able to source necessary ingredients to continue business as usual.

Executive summary

Every city needs great pizza. At Nonna’s Pizza, we combine delicious and fresh ingredients with traditional Detroit style pizza, delivered to customers hot in Savannah’s Eastside neighborhood. Owner Rita Grecco and her husband Cenzo are excited to bring delicious and crispy Detroit pizza to Savannah’s food scene and introduce a new style of pizza to the community. We want to recreate delicious Detroit pizza and generational Italian flavors for the people of Savannah and we just know they will love it. 

Mission statement

Nonna’s Pizza’s mission is to create delicious, fresh, and authentic Detroit style pizza in Savannah’s Eastside neighborhood. Detroit pizza is thick but light, crispy but tender, with tangy sauce delivered on top of the cheese. Additionally, we want to bring interesting flavor combinations that align with current trends and food interests. The pizzeria’s values are consistency, quality, and innovation. 

Nonna’s will feature staples such as classic cheese, pepperoni, and Italian sausage but also incorporate new ideas such as Cacio e Pepe flavored pizza, loaded baked potato, French onion, Nashville hot chicken, and pastrami and pickle. These new and innovative flavors will be limited edition, and be invited back by popular demand. Family-sized pies, takeout, and delivery will let families enjoy authentic Detroit style pizza in the comfort of their homes. 

Eastside, Savannah, is a growing urban center that retains the beauty of historic Savannah while catering to new and expanding tastes and new residents. Situated just East of the beautiful and historic Forsyth Park, Eastside captures the feeling of classic Savannah with walkable neighborhoods and a bustling arts and gallery district. Savannah is home to just under 150,000 residents, and Eastside in particular offers lots of opportunities for new business ventures.

The pizzeria’s founders will invest in the restaurant’s success, but they will also have to seek SBA loans, outside investments, and business lines of credit to bring this vision to life.

Company overview

Restaurant concept.

Nonna’s is a casual Detroit style pizzeria concept that focuses on classic as well as innovative ingredients. The menu builds from the Detroit style pizza baking methods and flavor profiles that have captured the hearts of pizza lovers across the country. Our head pizza chef will develop monthly special menus as well to experiment with new flavor combinations. The menu will also feature select appetizers and cannolis. 

Nonna’s will make classic pizzeria dining for foodies as well as middle-income eaters. Nonna’s pizzeria values taste and authenticity, creating what pizza lovers love, with an eye for the future. 

Detroit style pizza is incredibly popular in many parts of the country, but it has not found footing or opportunity in Savannah until now. There is opportunity there because unlike deep dish or Neapolitan style pizza, Detroit pizza is in a class of its own. Similar to Sicilian pizza, it features a thicker dough, but it is light, and fried on the bottom of the pan with oil creating a fluffy and crunchy taste experience. 

Restaurant service model

Like a classic pizzeria, Nonna’s will provide hot and ready takeout pizzas as well as a casual dine-in experience complete with red checkered tablecloths and pitchers of soda and beer. The pizzeria will be a place to relax, share a pie, and celebrate small milestones with family and friends, like winning a soccer game. Servers will work together and share tips to provide guests with a collective, casual, and communal dining experience.

Industry analysis

Located in Eastside, Savannah, Nonna’s Pizzeria will attract casual diners, tourists, and residents of Georgia on weekend trips to the beautiful city. Because Detroit pizza is rare to Savannah as well as to the southern United States, Rita and Cenzo hope that this will become a “have to stop” destination for those traveling around the southeast United States. 

Target market

The population of Savannah is varied, with working class, middle class, upper middle class, and extremely wealthy families of generational wealth. The city has local higher education such as Savannah School of Art and Savannah State College. The population has varied tastes and while Savannah is considered a quintessential “Old South” city it has kept up with many national and international trends due to its reliance on tourism and visitors from around the world.

Additionally, Savannah has become a popular bachelor and bachelorette destination as well as where many people choose to get married, providing an opportunity for Nonna’s to provide delicious food to patrons after a wild night out. Nonna’s Pizzeria aims to serve customers who want a neighborhood pizzeria that offers delicious Detroit style pizza and busy local working families who crave convenience. 

Market positioning

There are a few pizzeria’s in Savannah Georgia but none serving Detroit style, and many of them are part of a larger restaurant that serves other Italian food. Nonna’s Pizzeria will be casual, accessible, and authentic, providing a new kind of pizza that the patrons of Savannah haven’t tried yet.  

In addition to serving pizza, Nonna’s will serve cannoli's for takeout and dine-in which are perfect for celebrations and birthday parties. Guests can place large orders ahead of time and provide something new and different to their next party or cookout. Additionally, Nonna’s will partner with local delivery mobile applications to ensure their food is available through delivery or pickup and accessible to everyone in Savannah. 

Location analysis

Savannah is a well-known, beautiful, and historic southern city. With traditional buildings and beautiful architecture, Savannah is also considered a foodie heaven, with delicious restaurants that represent deep south cuisine as well as newer favorites.

Savannah is home to 148,000 residents, many of whom work in the city or neighboring areas. There is a healthy mix of apartments and single-family homes in the area.

Savannah is beautiful and walkable, and the location of Nonna’s is accessible to foot traffic. There is ample street parking in the area. Additionally, Eastside Savannah is walking distance to some of Savannah’s biggest tourist attractions and walking tours.

Marketing plan

Pizzeria culture is all about community, and Nonna’s Pizzeria will work to build a community of guests through customer loyalty and personable, friendly service.

Customer database

When guests order ahead at Nonna’s, we will collect their email addresses and ask if they would like to sign up for marketing emails. Customers will also be able to sign up for promotional emails on our website and social media pages. Emails will be used to advertise seasonal pizzas, limited-time deals, and holiday events.

A separate database of customers who place orders for takeout or delivery will allow us to send promotional emails to advertise the availability and pricing of monthly Detroit pizzas.

Loyalty program

Each dollar spent at Nonna’s Pizzeria, including online orders, will be converted into a point for our loyalty system. Customers will be able to exchange every 100 points they accrue for pizzas and free appetizers. The loyalty system will be attached to a customer’s email address. That will allow us to collect emails for our marketing databases.

Community and charity involvement

At Nonna’s Pizzeria, we are committed to the community. That’s why we will partner with Hunger Free Savannah, which is a community-based coalition of food and community service providers. Hunger Free Savannah works to raise awareness of food insecurity in Savannah and rural Georgia. They also sponsor programs that increase reliable access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food choices.

The owner and executive chef will work in partnership with Hunger Free Savannah to donate any food that we can’t use to avoid food waste. We will also coordinate to organize educational programs that increase food literacy and access for those facing food insecurity in Savannah and coastal Georgia.

Public relations

Savannah has a robust economic development plan, and the city hosts a website, visitsavannah.com, that features local restaurants and events in the historic and beautiful neighborhoods. Additionally, Savannah has several food festivals throughout the year. Nonna’s Pizzeria plans to be featured on the tourism website as well as participate in all food festivals to garner attention. 

Advertising and social media

Nonna’s Pizzeria is a pizza shop of the 21st century. While our priority is building a local community of pizza lovers, we will also use social media to advertise and generate interest in the pizzeria. Our restaurant space will be dark and cozy with a family and community feel. Our Instagram and Facebook pages will be filled with curated photos of monthly pizzas and fresh cannolis to amass a local and worldwide following and generate new customers.

Additionally, we will rely on local word-of-mouth marketing and consistent foot traffic in Savannah. Our service will be uniquely personable and the staff will be trained to create community rather than just making sales in order to attract and retain a regular customer base. Our customers will be encouraged to grow the community by sharing their experiences on Yelp, Google, and Instagram.

Operations plan

Staffing and training.

There are several critical roles to fill at Nonna’s Pizzeria; pizza cooks and pizza servers. The owners estimate needing at least 5 pizza cooks in addition to Dom and at least 10 pizza servers.

Training for staff will take place in the months leading up to the pizzeria’s opening. The owner and pizza chef will conduct interviews and hire the pizza cooks and pizza servers based on Nonna's values.

Recruitment

To recruit skilled pizza cooks and pizza servers, we will use Indeed.com, Ziprecruiter.com, and the local Savannah job posting opportunities. Our hiring process will be selective; we want every member of the team to have the right personality in the pizzeria

Customer service policies and procedures

Three principles will guide guest service at Nonna’s Pizzeria:

Authenticity. All staff will be able to explain what Detroit style pizza is, how it is made, and what makes it different from other types of pizza to help educate and inform all guests. 

Quality. From house-made dough to quality toppings, a pizza is only as good as what you flavor it with. 

Friendliness. Nonna’s Pizzeria wants to be a neighborhood family-run establishment and will do so by treating all guests like family. This means being warm, welcoming, accommodating and kind. 

Nonna’s Pizzeria will work with several local suppliers and producers to source high quality produce and proteins. We will also work with local butcher shops and the farms that supply them. Dough starters will be ordered from Detroit. 

For pizzeria supplies, we will develop a relationship with the local restaurant supply company so that we have convenient access to the equipment and supplies that we need.

Financial analysis and growth plan

Owners Rita and Cenzo will each invest personal savings of $100,000, for a total of $200,000 in initial investment. They will also seek a 7(a) Small Business Association for $300,000 and outside investments of $500,000 from business owners and entrepreneurs in the Savannah area. Total startup funds equal $1,000,000. $300,000 will be retained for contingency funds and the remaining $700,000 will be used as startup funds.

Outside investors will be pitched a 15% return-on-investment, for a total of $75,000/annually, once the business becomes profitable. The owner and executive chef won’t take a salary until the pizzeria becomes profitable, at which point they will cap their personal salaries at $90,000/year.

Business lines of credit will be sought for some expenses, such as initial orders for equipment, supplies, and ingredients. They will refuse any lines of credit above 5% interest.

Sample Pizza Shop Business Plan Template PDF

Pizzeria business plan sample.

If you have always dreamed of owning a pizza business, you may be able to get started sooner after reading this post as I have decided to share with you how to start this business from scratch.

Do you know the average pizza shop owner’s income? I know anyone can own a pizza shop business by buying a franchise of a well-known national chain.

But, you will need a huge budget for that and it is also limited because you won’t be allowed to add your creativity into the pizza business ideas to boost profit.

There are pros and cons to choosing a franchise. The pros include brand recognition, national campaigns, training, and support. But the downside is that most people don’t have the investment needed to buy into most of the national chain and some don’t usually succeed at last.

SEE: PIZZA HUT FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

So, you need information on starting a pizza business from scratch, here are the required steps to consider before starting a pizza business anywhere in the world.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN OPENING A PIZZA PLACE

  • What is the current pizza business profit margin?
  • Do you want to how to start a pizza business from home?
  • How do you choose a pizza name that helps your brand?
  • Have you compiled a pizza shop equipment list?
  • Do you need an opening a pizzeria equipment guide?
  • Have you ever considered pizza business equipment?

GUIDE: MOD PIZZA FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY Here is a sample business plan for starting a pizza shop business.

  • Conduct a Research 

The first toward starting a pizza business is to first research to know what kind of pizza you want to be making. There are different styles of pizza out there. You should research to know the ones that consumers love the most.

Also, you need to research to know what it takes to own a pizza business. Pizza is not one easy business to just wake up and start. You need to know what you are getting into before diving into the business.

  • Acquire Training and Experience 

This is very important before starting a pizza business. Though, there may be no certification for starting a pizza business but, that doesn’t stop you from working at a pizza shop to learn the in and out of the business.

GUIDE: CICI’S PIZZA FRANCHISE INFORMATION

Find a place that makes great pizza and apply to work there. One skill you will certainly learn is how to make a delicious pizza. It will be better if you work for 6 months to gather enough knowledge about the business.

  • Take a Business Class

Even if you are involved in the food business, you must take a pizza making business class. Remember, you will be responsible for managing and running your pizza shop. It is beneficial that you learn the business aspect of operating a pizza business.

  • Create a Pizza Business Plan

This is a vital step when starting a pizza business. Write out your business plan which should include a description of your pizza business, your target market, marketing strategy, sources of revenue, startup cost, etc.

There are so many types of pizzerias. You are to choose if you want to operate a buffet-style pizza business, pizza by the slice, family-style pizza joint, etc. You are also to indicate in your business plan if you will be offering delivery services or it will be a take-out only pizza shop.

You also need to decide in your business plan the complimentary food you will also be offering alongside your pizza.

You can’t be serving pizza only; you have to spice up your menu with something still delicious like pasta dishes like most pizza shops do theirs. What will be your hours of operation and many others are what should be included in your business plan.

  • Licenses and Permit

Before you will allow operating your pizza business, you will need to get the required licenses and permit from the appropriate authority. You will need several licenses depending on your city and state.

Without these licenses, it will be illegal to start a pizza business. Additionally, you should invite your local health inspection department to come to check your location because they permit before you can conduct business.

The location of your restaurant or shop is one of the most important factors relating to the success or failure of your business. Ideally, you should look for a location with a lot of foot traffic that is easily accessible both to people walking by and for people with vehicles.

A location close to the main street is also a huge advantage. Locations near college campuses, military bases or large industrial or office parks are a huge advantage. Of course, these premium locations will come at a higher price, but if you can afford such a location it is worth the investment.

If you plan to generate revenue through the home and office delivery, location is less important.

  • Advertising

Advertising is one factor like location and menu that can determine the success of your pizza business. No one can patronize your business when they don’t know your business exists close to them.

You can erect a big signpost at the front of your shop to attract passerby. You can also place it at the junction of the street directing with a direction sign to let people know where to find your shop.

Online advertising is not out of the advertising. According to a survey, 40% of pizza sales occur online. So, it is advisable you also run an advert online especially on social media.

Of course, there are other areas you’ll need to consider including decor, staff and special promotional events. Once you have these items nailed down, you may be truly ready to start your pizza business .

Pam’s Pizza shop will thrive on the best ethical behavior as well as maintain a hygienic condition to create an environment that will be comfortable as well as attractive to all our clients.

Pam’s Pizza is founded by Pamela Gibson who studied food microbiology in Australia and then got a job in a pizza shop. After spending three years working in a renowned pizza shop in Australia, she moved back to the USA to start hers.

The vision of Pam’s Pizza Shop is to create a pizzeria that would be the first place thought about whenever Pizza is mentioned in the USA. Our vision is predicated on the values that we cherish the most: healthy nourishment, integrity, customers’ satisfaction, excellence, and teamwork.

• Chief Operating Officer • Pizza Shop Manager • Quality Control Analyst • Marketing and Sales managers • Accountant • Customer Care Representative • Messengers • Cleaners MARKET ANALYSIS Market Trends

Pizza in the USA is a relatively not new meal for most people. Although it has been available for years in the country, very little consume it frequently. Fast food joints and other take-out restaurants compete with the pizza business, which makes it a little difficult for the market to stand on its own.

These challenges along with others make it rare to see a business dealing with just pizza as most combine it with other products for their consumers.

Pam’s Pizza hopes to take advantage of this by offering a variety of pizza that would appeal to everyone’s taste bud to grow to become the one-stop-shop for your pizza cravings.

TARGET MARKET

Pizza is not restricted to a certain age grade as almost everyone consumes pizza. But then, some, especially the younger generation consume it more. This is why after conducting our market research, the following group of individuals would be our main target market.

• Universities • Secondary Schools and other tertiary institutions • Children • Households • Offices • Churches • Entrepreneurs • Residents

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Pam’s Pizza Shop has the aim of spreading across the US in the next ten years and we hope to achieve this using some competitive strategies we have come up with.

We are going to run a training school in addition to pizza sales. This would aid in spreading our market as far as possible.

Pam’s Pizza Shop would also offer a combination of different pizza varieties that includes both local and international taste. Our pizzas would come in different sizes and shapes to be able to easily meet our clients’ demands.

We also hope to have a service that will be web-based to make it easier for our clients to order for our pizza in the comfort of their homes.

Our state of the art facilities, as well as vast experience in this field, is one advantage that would keep us a step higher than our competition.

MARKETING STRATEGY

At Pam’s Pizza, we are cognizant of the fact that marketing and its related activities form the lifeblood of any business venture.

Hence, the marketing team at Pam’s Pizza will comprise of women and men that are tested and tried; individuals that are self-driven and pragmatic who also love pizza and can come up with unique ideas needed to navigate the intense marketing turf that is a reflection of 21st-century businesses.

We shall let the quality of our services speak for us, by creating a platform – both online and offline – where satisfied customers can engage in word of mouth advertising of our products and services. Also, Pam’s Pizza will carry out the following marketing strategies:

• Creating active profiles on social media that would be customer-centric and focused. • Introduce our business by sending introductory letters, flyers, pamphlets, and other marketing materials to our target markets such as Tertiary Institutions, market places, and schools • Conducting Promos for our customers as well as roadshows to create awareness for our brand. • Advertise our services in relevant business and financial papers and websites, Radio and TV stations as well as on other online platforms.

FINANCIAL PLAN Pricing Strategy

Pam’s Pizza Shop will charge according to the size shape and toppings on pizza ordered. We would offer a free delivery service to residents close to our location and a minimum charge for deliveries a bit far from us.

To remain competitive, our price rates will be a little lower than other pizza rates around us for the first few months of opening.

This business plan for Pam’s Pizza Shop will serve as a platform for the execution of her short, medium and long term goals in this food sector in America. The founder is also of the opinion that this business plan can be subject to change, to accommodate any unforeseen changes that may occur in the pizzeria or food sector, in the future.

If you're planning a visit to Yekaterinburg, one landmark that should definitely be on your must-visit list is the Church on the Blood. This stunning structure holds a significant place in Russian history, particularly due to the tragic events that took place within its walls.

The Church on the Blood was built on the spot where the Romanov family, the last imperial rulers of Russia, were executed in 1918. After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the royal family was placed under house arrest in Yekaterinburg. However, on 17 July 1918, they were woken in the middle of the night and led to a basement where they were shot and killed in cold blood. Their bodies were disposed of in a nearby forest, but were eventually discovered in 1991 by amateur archaeologists.

In 2003, the Church on the Blood was opened as a memorial to the Romanov family. The stunning building is a mix of traditional Russian and modern architecture, with a beautiful domed roof that is visible from all over the city. Inside, visitors can see a museum that tells the story of the Romanovs, as well as several exhibitions related to their lives and deaths.

The highlight of a visit to the Church on the Blood is undoubtedly the room where the Romanovs were killed. It has been preserved as it was found, and visitors can see the bloodstains that still remain on the walls. It's a sobering experience, and a reminder of the immense tragedy that befell the Romanov family and Russia as a whole.

To make the most of your visit to the Church on the Blood, it's recommended to take a guided tour. Several companies offer tours of the church, as well as other sites related to the Romanovs in Yekaterinburg. These tours can give you a deeper understanding of the history of the royal family and their legacy in Russia, as well as help you navigate the sometimes confusing exhibits within the church.

Overall, a visit to the Church on the Blood is a must for anyone interested in Russian history or the Romanovs. It's a moving, sombre experience that will stay with you long after you leave Yekaterinburg.

12 Fun Activities To Enjoy In Seattle At Night If You're Under 21

Yekaterinburg is one of the largest cities in Russia, located in the heart of the Ural Mountains. The Ural Mountains are a range that divides the European and Asian continents. It is one of the most interesting places to visit in Russia for a nature lover or an adventure enthusiast. In this article, we explore the Ural Mountains and why a trip to Yekaterinburg is incomplete without exploring the Ural region.

The Ural Mountains are known for their beautiful landscapes, picturesque towns, and a rich cultural history. One of the most popular attractions to explore in the Ural region is the Taganai National Park. The park is famous for its natural beauty, unique plant and animal life, and stunning mountain scenery. You can hike trails that take you through beautiful forests, mountain streams, and tranquil meadows. The park also contains different natural landmarks, including the Maiden Stone, a large rock formation that offers an incredible view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

For those who want a more extreme adventure, the Ural Mountains offer excellent opportunities for mountaineering, rock climbing, and hiking. One of the most famous destinations for outdoor enthusiasts is Mount Narodnaya, the highest peak of the northern Urals and considered one of the Seven Summits of Russia. Moreover, the Ural Mountains are home to several other peaks and cliffs that offer great experiences to people looking for an adrenaline rush.

Another stunning natural attraction of the Ural Mountains is the Manpupuner rock formations.
